Victor, a senior, has 30 tackles, two tackles for loss and two sacks in nine games this season. He has mainly been playing outside linebacker, recently in a reserve role, and has had a significant drop-off in production compared to his time at middle linebacker.

As the team’s starter in the middle, Victor had 67 tackles in 10 games in 2016 and was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection, despite missing the final three games of the year with a broken leg. He also had 95 tackles in 13 games in 2015.

Washington dropped to 8-2 (5-2 Pac-12) on the year with a loss at Stanford last Friday. The Huskies host Utah on Saturday night.
